The Guide To Waterproofing COMPLETE WATERPROOFING SOLUTIONS FOR NEW AND EXISTING STRUCTURES

History Protecting Buildings Since 1848 Newton Waterproofing Systems, est. 1848, is the UKâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leading independent supplier of structural waterproofing systems, damp proofing, water control and drainage products. The original John Newton founded the company in 1848 at Verney Road in South London. Their first unique ventilated waterproofing membrane was introduced in 1937 and over five million metres of Newtonite were sold before its modernisation into a polyethylene product in 1984. In 1986 Newton developed their flagship internal cavity drain membrane system for new-build and domestic below ground structures. Newton Waterproofing Systems is a family-run business with a proven history in designing quality damp and waterproofing materials, together with an exceptional technical advice and support service.

John Newton circa 1848

Having been involved in the company since I started stoking the boiler in 1963, right through to the present day in my position as Chairman, I have always been proud to be able to say that Newton is a family-run company, with a family ethos that remains strong even as we continually expand, grow and improve. This ethos, alongside our independent status, is the foundation for the 21st Century Newton, allowing us to constantly offer the highest levels of service, and source new and innovative solutions to the trickiest waterproofing problems.

My friends and family were amazed how well the system did exactly what it was supposed to. Following the event, I have not had to claim on my insurance, I have not had to clean up or had any stress put on me, as my home was saved. I believe that due to your waterproofing, I will be able to at any point sell my house and that due to the waterproofing system, it will actually add value. My neighbours whom had not installed the flood protection were devastated at the amount it was going to cost them to repair the damage caused by the flooding, the stress it caused and is causing and the sheer turmoil it leaves behind.

Continual Professional Development

British Standard 8102:2009 British Standard Requirements The British Standard 8102:2009 is the ‘Code of Practice for Protection of Below Ground Structures Against Water From the Ground ’. It explains the various types of waterproofing available and advises on the correct specification of those systems.

Design Philosophy •

standard recognises that, for a below ground project The to be successful, strategies for dealing with groundwater, soil gases and contaminants are considered from the very earliest stages of the design process

•

‘Waterproofing Specialist’ should be included as a part A of the design team so that an integrated waterproofing solution is created. Newton Specialist Basement Contractors (NSBCs) can fulfil this role

•

Waterproofing measures should be designed on the basis of water to the full height of the retained ground at some point in the structure’s life

•

Combination waterproofing systems should be considered where the likelihood of leakage is high, or the consequences of leakage are unacceptable

Failure to use the standard could result in the designer having a difficult time in a court of law in the event of litigation following a waterproofing failure.

The National House Building Council (NHBC) Between 2005 and 2013, claims related to waterproofing below ground cost the National House Building Council (NHBC) approximately £21 million and affected 890 homes. As a result, in 2013 NHBC released their Chapter 5.4 ‘Waterproofing of basements and other below ground structures’. The new Chapter introduces meaningful benchmarks and supporting technical guidance for a range of situations where structures are required to resist the ingress of water from the ground and other sources, and where ‘normal’ waterproofing arrangements are not considered appropriate. The Chapter explains the range of structures that require waterproofing goes significantly beyond what readers might typically consider as ‘basements’. Below ground constructions that generally require waterproofing, and should take account of the new Chapter, include basements, below ground parking areas, plant and storage rooms, lift pits, and stepped floor slabs where the step is greater than 150 mm.

Grades of Waterproofing The British Standard categorises potential internal environments into three Grades. In order to deliver a robust and effective waterproofing solution, consideration must be given to the form of structure being used and the intended use of the internal space. Only once this is all established, can the design progress.

Grade 1

Grade 2

Some seepage and damp areas tolerable

Grade 3

No water penetration acceptable. Damp areas tolerable Non-Habitable

No water penetration acceptable Habitable

British Standard 8102:2009

Type A: Barrier Protection BS 8102:2009 Definition A structure itself has no integral protection against water. Type A waterproofing systems are barrier membranes which are applied to the structure. The membrane can be applied internally or externally to prevent the ingress of water into the inner building fabric. Examples of barrier membranes applied externally to the “positive” side are bonded sheet membranes, sodium bentonite matting and liquid applied coatings (cementitious/bitumen or polymer). Internally, similar approaches that can be adopted to hold water back on the “negative” side of the below ground structure include cementitious coatings and bitumen or polymer based liquids applied via spray, trowel, brush or roller.

Case Study: Structural Waterproofing - Park Avenue Development

Newton HydroBond is a very robust, unique and easy to install system. Newton Waterproofing Systems provides training and backup where needed, which ensures the product is installed correctly and makes certain that the final structure is fully waterproof. I would not hesitate to recommend this superior product to our clients on future developments. ÂŽ

Paul Dennison, Buxted Construction

Contractor: Buxted Construction Newton 403 HydroBondÂŽ was applied to the Crest Nicholson Park Avenue development in Sunbury-on-Thames; a combination of 193 apartments and spacious executive homes on the site of the old training grounds for London Irish Rugby club. The high performance membrane was used in order to provide a complete waterproof envelope to the structure, and to provide a Type A (barrier) waterproofing solution suitable for Grades 1, 2 and 3 as defined by BS 8102:2009.

Type A: Barrier Protection

Type B: Integral Protection BS 8102:2009 Definition The structure itself is constructed to be integrally waterproof and the primary resistance against water ingress. These types of structure are generally made of high grade concrete, usually with more reinforcement fabric introduced to reduce the risk of shrinkage cracks and as such, the potential for water ingress. Additionally, these forms of structure will have either hydrophilic waterbars which swell on contact with water, metal waterbars which form an actual physical barrier to protect the vulnerable construction joints from the risk of water penetration, or injection waterbars that have the capability to inject grout to porous and poorly compacted joints, as well as resins for post-construction leak sealing. Newton System 300

Waterbars, Waterstops and Waterplugs

Metal & Hydrophilic

Nothing provides primary resistance to water ingress better as a building medium than well designed and well placed reinforced concrete, and given the choice this would be included in any professional waterprooferâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s design. The preference would be for a design that limits crack widths to 0.2mm for both flexural cracks and cracks that pass through section, and in so doing would conform to BS 8110 (EN 1992).

Example of Type B Waterproofing

Newton 315 Polymer-Waterbar provides Type B protection to the construction joints in a concrete structure

Case Study: Waterproofing Manchester United’s Hotel Football

Newton Waterproofing Systems offer a complete wrap-around service to its specialist contractor network both in range of products and quality of technical and practical application support. They are continually looking to innovate, enhance and improve their range of products. Bill Hockey, Trace Basements

NSBC Contractor: Trace Basements The 138-bed, 10-storey Hotel Football at Manchester United’s Old Trafford ground, features a five-a-side football pitch on the roof, a supporters’ club, and has capacity for 1,500 fans on match days. Trace Basements were commissioned to design and install a waterproofing solution throughout the new structure. The Newton System 500 range of cavity drain membranes, drainage and pumps were applied internally, whilst Newton Systems 100 and 200 were applied externally to offer an extensive combined waterproofing solution for ultimate protection against water ingress.

Type B: Integral Protection

Type C: Drained Protection BS 8102:2009 Definition A Type C System is a below ground, internal waterproofing system, comprising of membranes, drainage and, if required, pumping systems with backup ancillary products.

Pumping Systems

Backup Systems

Type C Systems meet with the BS 8102:2009 recommendations for a ‘maintainable waterproofing system’. With this design, it is accepted that water could enter the building and an internal cavity is provided to depressurise and manage the water, which is why they are sometimes referred to as ‘water management systems’. Once captured, water can be discharged from the property either via gravity to open elevations or removed by mechanical means.

Example of Type C Waterproofing

Newton cavity drain membranes are applied to the walls and floors, with Newton Basedrain providing a drainage channel to ingressing water from the structure. This can be linked to Newton sump and pump systems if required

Featured Products

Newton 508 Cavity Drain Membrane A high quality cavity drain waterproofing membrane used to create a depressurised space. Suitable for use behind independent frames, timber battens and concrete block wall coverings, Newton 508 is just one of Newtonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s range of BBA Certified System 500 membranes.

Newton Basedrain Inspection Port Allows access to the drainage channel, making Newton System 500 maintainable, meaning it meets the requirements of Section 4.3.2 of BS 8102:2009. This states that the issue of repairability should be taken into account, and feasibility of remedial measure assessed.

Newton Titan-Pro White Pumping System for Newton System 500 Designed specifically for Newton System 500.

Case Study: Basement Waterproofing a New-Build Basement

MacLennan worked with Ali Galvin Homes to come up with a risk-free waterproofing strategy, to waterproof the very impressive and luxurious property that they were constructing. Newton System 500 is the best system available to waterproofing professionals and was ideal for this project. Ian MacLennan, MacLennan Waterproofing

NSBC Contractor: MacLennan Newton Specialist Basement Contractor MacLennan were commissioned to design and install a cavity drain waterproofing system. Newton System 500 was deemed the best range of products for the project as it provides a maintainable waterproofing solution - and thus meets the requirements of BS 8102:2009. Newton 508 Cavity Drain Membrane was applied to all internal walls and ingressing water was collected into the Newton Basedrain channels throughout the perimeters of the wall/floor junction and pumped out to safe drainage using the Newton Titan-Pro White pumping system.

Type C: Drained Protection

Combination Waterproofing Systems BS 8102:2009 Definition When tasked to waterproof retaining structures in accordance with BS 8102:2009, professional waterproofing designers should consider using more than one type of waterproofing to provide enhanced protection of the structure and to achieve the necessary environmental grade. Newton provide waterproofing products for all three types of waterproofing as defined within BS 8102:2009: A. Type A (barrier) protection B. Type B (structurally integral) protection C. Type C (drained) protection Waterproofing Design Specialists are tasked to recommend a “combined“ waterproofing system approach particularly where: 1. The likelihood of leakage is high 2. The consequences of leakage are unacceptable 3. Additional vapour checks are necessary for a system where unacceptable water vapour transmission could otherwise occur With this in mind, the possible combinations of waterproofing are Type A, B & C, Type A & B, Type A & C or Type B & C. Usually a combination of 2 forms of waterproofing is adequate when designing a habitable space requiring a completely dry internal environment, defined as ‘Grade 3’ within BS 8102:2009. Whichever combination of waterproofing is chosen to achieve the Grade 3 environment, in most cases the safest combination will include a Type C internal cavity drain membrane system as one of the forms of waterproofing. The choice of the other system is largely dictated by the type of structure.

Example of a Typical Combination Waterproofing Design

Case Study: Structural Waterproofing - Christian Dior Store

Due to the quality of finish and goods to reside within this large basement, the waterproofing scheme was designed with a combination of Type A and Type C systems for maximum protection. It was therefore essential that the product quality reflected the design effort. We were pleased to install Newton membranes throughout to help maintain the highest of standards due to their forward thinking, reliable technical support and complete range of quality waterproofing products. Nick Wells, Advanced Basements

NSBC Contractor: Advanced Basements The extensive basement area of Christian Diorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s newest and most prestigious flagship outlet in New Bond Street, Central London, is to be used as stockrooms, changing rooms, and staff and shop floor areas. Following the application of the Type A system, a Newton System 500 Cavity Drain Membrane (Type C) was applied to the internal wall and floor areas by Advanced Basements, who also guaranteed the work. The system included perimeter drainage using Newton Basedrain and two Newton Titan-Pro pumping systems.

Combination Waterproofing Systems

Deck Waterproofing Definition The waterproofing of podium decks and balconies is often an important requirement of a complete structural waterproofing solution. Due to the clients’ requirements to maximise the available space, we frequently find that the below ground structure will extend beyond the footprint of the above ground building. It is therefore essential that these areas and the detailing at ground floor level are completely impervious to water ingress. Newton offer a complete range of externally applied liquid membranes, protection and drainage products for these scenarios in isolation, or, when required, to interface with other waterproofing elements. As with all waterproofing systems, the correct design and application will ensure the products fulfil the design function and provide internal conditions which are fit for purpose in terms of the area’s required use. Typical specifications would be: •

Warm roofs

•

Green/garden roofs

•

Inverted warm roofs

•

Balconies

•

Cold roofs

Case Study: Deck Waterproofing Gunwharf Quays

As a long-standing Newton customer, we’re always being kept up to date and supported with the latest product developments, like 109-LM, and getting the right training for our contractors. The liquid rubber is something we’ve used before and it’s always really quick and easy to apply, regardless of how it’s applied or what it’s being used for. Using the drainage membrane alongside was good for this job too, as it meant the finishes could be put back in quickly. Gunwharf Quays was back in use swiftly.

Simon Towers, Rubber Spray Solutions

Contractor: Rubber Spray Solutions Rubber Spray Solutions prepared the surfaces and repaired the existing deck waterproofing. Newton’s single-component, seamless waterproofing membrane Newton 109-LM was then hand-applied around the pipe penetrations to prevent water leaking into the car park below. Newton 108 HydroBond -LM was sprayapplied to the retaining walls and adjacent deck areas. ®

Newton 408 DeckDrain membrane was applied to the newly waterproofed surfaces to protect the membranes and filter and reduce the flow of water onto the primary waterproofing.

Damp Proofing Definition Newton System 800 is a range of BBA approved damp proof membranes and ancillaries which are quick and clean to install and offer a permanent solution for treating damp walls. Newton 805 Newlath and Newton 803 Newtonite meshed membranes provide a firm key and impermeable barrier on any damp or deteriorating surface ready for plaster, render or dot and dab plasterboard. The unmeshed Newton 803 is used where insulation requirements dictate the use of a timber or steel frame ready for plasterboard. Newton damp proof membranes are the ideal solution for listed buildings as they are deemed â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;reversibleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. Newton damp proof membranes are ideal for accommodating a number of finishes, as illustrated in the following drawings: 1.

Newton 807 BKK Water Repellent Treatment For Exposed Walls A transparent, colourless wall coating, water and siloxane based, ideal to protect porous walls of various substrates from wind-driven rain. After treatment, the wall is deeply impervious to water ingress and therefore better protected against frost damage.

Newton 803 Newtonite Meshed Damp Proofing Membrane A composite damp proofing membrane comprising of a HDPE membrane with a rot-proof polythene mesh, heat-welded to the surface of one side. The mesh provides a key for the direct application of plaster or dot and dab plasterboard.

Case Study: Damp Proofing St Maryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hall

The Newton System 800 was easily installed in a timely manner enabling the project to move forward at a pace without the need for drying out time or suffering delays from adverse weather conditions. We were able to provide the client with an insured backed guarantee for damp proofing this prestigious listed school. Philip Assheton, CavityTech Ltd

NSBC Contractor: CavityTech Ltd St Maryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hall in Brighton is a prestigious private school which required treatment for both rising and penetrating damp as part of its refurbishment. The different construction elements within the structure and the space constraints also needed to be considered when designing the damp proofing solution. BBA certified Newton 803 Mesh was mechanically fixed to the substrate by CavityTech using Newton Mesh Plugs, providing a physical barrier between the damp substrates and the new internal surfaces.

Case Studies

Listed Buildings Listed Building Requirements Section 7 of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 states that “no person shall execute or cause to be executed any works for the demolition of a listed building or for its alteration or extension in any manner which would affect its character as a building of special architectural or historic interest, unless the works are authorised”. The fundamental challenge when dealing with buildings of special architectural or historic interest is therefore to maintain structural and aesthetic integrity, whilst remaining sympathetic in the product application and still achieving the desired effect. Damp proofing and cavity drain membranes can be sympathetically applied with little or no preparation at all and, depending on the chosen wall finish, often only require the very minimum of strategically placed fixings to hold the membrane in place. Furthermore, they could – if ever required – be removed at a later date so the building could be restored to the original condition, which also meets listed building recommendations by being a reversible solution.

Basement Waterproofing: Houses of Parliament

Newton cavity drain membranes were applied to the interior vaults throughout this iconic Grade I Listed building

NSBC Contractor: MacLennan This complex project required the design and installation of an external waterproofing system, an internal cavity drain system, and a polyurea roofing system to ensure a high standard of waterproofing. Externally, Newton’s innovative Type A 403 HydroBond® membrane was applied extensively to ensure the necessary waterproofing around the basement, whilst, internally, Newton 508 and Newton 520 membranes were both applied from floor to ceiling as part of Newton’s complete Type C System 500 Cavity Drainage solution.

Protection Against Flooding Rapid Reoccupation Following Flooding Lord Deben, Chairman of the Committee on Climate Change, recently stated: â&#x20AC;&#x153;climate change is expected to increase the frequency and magnitude of severe flooding across the UKâ&#x20AC;?. Defences that might historically have provided protection against a 1 in 100 year flood will, with climate change, provide a much lower level of protection and be overwhelmed more frequently. The latest projections suggest periods of intense rainfall could increase in frequency by a factor of five this century, as global temperatures rise. When dealing with flood-hit properties, saturated walls can take up to a month per inch of thickness to dry out, and even with dehumidifiers, heaters and air changing units this process can still be painfully slow and inhibit any successful reoccupation for a prolonged period of time. The installation of cavity membranes can speed up the reoccupation of flood affected buildings as they can be installed while the wall is still damp. The membrane will form an impermeable barrier which separates new finishes from the damp structure so the new wall finishes will not be affected by the salts and staining which could occur during the drying process.

Designing A Flood Mitigation System: South Hinksey Village

South Hinksey suffers from high flood risk. In 2007, a major flood engulfed the village with devastating results

NSBC Contractor: Stonehouse Property Care Newton System 500 cavity drain waterproofing was installed in five properties in the village. Sump and pumps were installed to manage any ingressing water through the building fabric and direct it to the sump and pump systems so it could then be discharged. During the major floods in Oxfordshire in November 2012, these systems were tested to the extreme, with 500 to 800 mm of water engulfing the village completely. The Newton System 500 Cavity Drainage System protected all of the properties it was installed in, while houses all around were flooded and in some cases families were evacuated from their homes.

NSBC Membrane Recycling Service Newton Goes Green In partnership with our NSBC network, Newton is proud to introduce our NSBC Membrane Recycling Service to the Structural Waterproofing Industry. The Service is a tailor made “back to base” membrane recycling facility, whereby Newton and their NSBCs actively recycle off-cuts of virgin and recycled HDPE from commercial and domestic construction sites throughout the UK. To provide this service, Newton has dedicated drivers who will pick up HDPE from the site or offices of our NSBC network for recycling back at our head office in Tonbridge, Kent. The recycled off-cuts are also collected at the same time as new construction membranes are being delivered, thus saving on dedicated pick ups and the associated carbon emissions. Newton is the first waterproofing materials supplier to initiate a “back to base” membrane recycling service in our market sector as a drive to achieve both waste reduction and reduced reliance on landfill. As a company, we hold ISO 14001 certification and are always seeking to improve our environmental credentials, as well as all participants who are associated with us in the structural waterproofing industry. This bespoke service allows us to not only offer specifiers a quality waterproofing solution installed by a fully trained and competent professional, it also shows a real commitment to lowering all of our carbon footprints in the process. Newton and our NSBC network have a true commitment to all parties involved in the construction process. This ensures our HDPE membrane systems will be installed in the most efficient manner with continuous focus on quality and minimal wastage. It is, however inevitable that some off-cuts will be produced. Specifiers and end clients should look for the NSBC Membrane Recycling Service logo on vehicles and literature as a mark of quality assurance that the HDPE membranes are being recycled and not sent to landfill.

We are delighted that Newton Waterproofing Systems are investing in membership of RECOUP and have taken the lead in looking at ways post-industrial plastics can be recycled by the construction industry. Utilising the knowledge and membership links that RECOUP have to increase and improve plastics recycling through their Membrane Recycling Service shows real commitment and foresight from the company’s leadership.
